Description

General description

Benzyl acetate is an aliphatic flavor ester found in the oils of many plants such as jasmine, hyacinth, gardenias, and azaleas.

Application

• Transcriptomic and proteomic approaches to explore the differences in monoterpene and benzenoid biosynthesis between scented and unscented genotypes of wintersweet.: This study examines the biosynthesis pathways of monoterpenes and benzenoids, including benzyl acetate, in different genotypes of wintersweet. By using transcriptomic and proteomic methods, the researchers identified key genes and proteins involved in the production of these compounds, providing insights into the biochemical mechanisms underlying their biosynthesis. This research has implications for understanding the metabolic engineering of fragrance compounds in plants (Tian et al., 2019).
